RAND CHANDLER HILL, OF N EWV ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.

FOUNTAIN-PEN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 306,398, dated October 14, 1884.

Application filed April 27, 1883. (N0 model.) i

To (ZZZ whom it may concern.-

Be itknown that I, RAND CHANDLER HILL, a resident of the city of New Orleans, parish of Orleans, and State of Louisiana, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Pens; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and correct description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this speeification.

My invention consists in the combination, with a writing-pen having an under plate connected therewith, of a perforated corrugated plate or tongue fitted between thesame,whereby an ink-receptacle is formed within the pen, from which the ink, whether thick or thin, will readily flow as required.

On the drawings, Figure 1 is a top view of an ordinary pen provided with my ink-holding device. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the center thereof. Fig. 3 is a view of the under side of the pen. Fig. i is a plan of the ink-holding-plate or tongue, and Fig. 5 an edge view thereof.

On the drawings, the letter A designates the pen proper; 13, the under plate, and O the ink-holder or tongue. The general outline of the under plate is about the same as that of the pen, to which it is either permanently or detachably secured in a manner which will permit of the rear end, d, of the tongue being securely held in the same, with its point to ward the nibs of the pen. The point of the under plate is made wide enough to bear against the under part of each nib, so as 5 to convey the ink thereto as well as to hold the same in their relative positions. The tongue 0 is provided with transverse corrugations and with a series of perforations,

whereby the ink is held within the pen and 0 at the same time allowed to flow from one side to the other of the tongue, by which arrangement the ink is kept from caking, and consequently retained in a fluid state for a much longer time than would be the case were the 4 5 tongue not perforated.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of pen A with under plate, 50

B, and the perforated corrugated tongue 0, the latter adapted to be secured between the pen and plate, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I aff x my signature in 55
